Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, garlic, and parsley and cook, stirring, until the butter has melted. Add the frog legs.

SAUTEED FROG LEGS WITH TOMATO GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Cut the frog legs in half. Season both the legs and flour with Essence. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Dredge the frog legs in the seasoned flour and shake to remove any excess flour. Add the frog legs to the hot pan and saute until golden, turning as needed, about 2 to 3 minutes each side. Add the shallots and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine, simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the parsley. Remove from the heat and serve.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SAUTEED FROG'S LEGS WITH GARLIC AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• If necessary, prepare the frog's legs by trimming the spines and tips of the feet; wash and dry them.
• Roll the legs in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
• Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over high heat (the frog legs will brown better if they are not crowded).
• When the butter stops sputtering, add half of the legs and saute until browned, 1-2 minutes.
• Turn and brown on the other side; the butter should be quite brown to add flavor.
• Remove the legs to a warmed plate, wipe out the skillet and saute the remaining legs with butter in the same way.
• Remove the legs to the plate with the first batch.
• Return the pan to the heat, add in the shallots, garlic, and parsley; saute, stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Replace the frog legs and toss together over medium heat for another 30 seconds until very hot.
• The shallots should be slightly crunchy, in contrast to the tender frog legs.

FRIED FROG'S LEGS

Steps:

• Rinse the frog's legs and pat dry; set aside. In a large resealable bag, combine the saltine cracker crumbs, flour, cornmeal, onion, salt and pepper. Shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
• Heat the vegetable oil and peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.
• Dip the frog's legs into the milk and egg, then dip into the cracker mixture until evenly coated. Carefully place them in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. If the legs start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Drain on paper towels before serving.
